"I’m Not in Shape Enough for Jiu Jitsu" (And Why That’s Perfect)

You don’t get in shape to start jiu jitsu. You start jiu jitsu to get in shape.

Feeling nervous because you haven’t hit the gym in years? Worried you’ll be the least fit person in the room? Let us let you in on a secret: everyone feels that way at first. Jiu Jitsu isn’t a display of perfection; it’s a path to improvement.

The Reality: Our Basics classes are designed for day-one beginners. We focus on basic movements, breathing, and technique—not intense conditioning. Your first goal isn’t to “win,” it’s to learn how to move. The fitness comes naturally, session by session. The person next to you who looks incredibly fit? They likely started right where you are, and they remember it. We all do.

Our Promise: You will never be pushed beyond your limits. You are always in control of your own pace. We celebrate showing up, not just performance. The squeeze is worth the juice!
